ah ah, the leaders of russia in the us hold crisis towards mid tensions over ukraine and divisions on security policy. french police fire tear gas to break up a freedom convoy rally a central powers is blocked off with checkpoints and armored vehicles, all corresponding reports right from the heart of the action. but as you can see, the tear gas isn't coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind as they were trying to control and over in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers blocking the ambassador bridge, a key border crossing with

welcome to our international. my name's peter scott taking over from unit o'neill, and i'll be with you throughout the nights, bringing you the latest news from our headquarters here in moscow. and our top story this, our russia has accused us of violating its territorial waters. the us, after an american nuclear power attack, sabrin was spotted off the country's far east coast. now it comes amid heights intentions between the 2 powers. meanwhile, the u. s. military reject to the accusations and refused to specify the area of is operations. ortiz, the south gets ala told us more earlier. fat to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around ukraine. it's what will the headlines are about politicians to put the ice on its flooding, twitter to one party, which has been ratcheting up the temperature despite all its claims. of course, to be the global leader of diplomacy is washington itself. for months it has been pushing this narrative of russia, the aggressive president,

putin finalizing. his plans were on the brink of wild will. 3, at the same time, cool, sending millions of dollars of western rate to ukraine, deploying thousands of troops. nato troops closer to russia, borders, diplomacy in short, as interpreted by the us. on friday though, the white house is rhetoric reached really unprecedented levels of hysteria. and the message that we heard was basically very simple to anyone who is in ukraine and was, was one of us get out while you can winter is coming to an invasion, could begin at any time, credible prospect that a rushing military action would take place even before the end of the olympics, that includes in the coming days or considerations, should leave should leave now. well, despite the u. s, providing upstream no evidence. in fact, they were refusing to discuss the intelligence the global community pops on to start to be got scared. so what we then started witnessing in the light of those was, was really a mass exodus from kiya of. so we had dozens of countries in us citizens to leave

as quickly as possible kind of a prophylactic evacuation. the dutch airlines as well. taylor has stopped flying to ukraine for the moment. i'm no, of course even going to mention the media's descent into apocalyptic headlines. it seems that the world has taken washington out. it's word, of course though, in the past we've seen that in the, in the past it's what it's, it's counted for very little. let's remember those famous claims of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction was very telling is that while says this flurry of activity amongst a foreign contingent in ukraine, there are many within ukraine who logic. he should be the ones who are most terrified by these warnings. it was simply not buying washington a selling lady who hit her. i don't believe russia will attack us. i don't believe it. i have friends in sac elin crass in the dark. i don't believe it. my games for joining the snow. we hope that it won't start, so we're not thinking about leaving ukraine yet. i think there is a good chance that nothing will happen when you, when you come up with firstly,

where is this information coming from? secondly, russians are sloths, and we are a brotherly nation, where we will never be split, no matter how much the americans want it. and it's not just that i mean and not passing this looked, can't this and seeing it for what it is which is madness. since wash has claim time and time again, that has no plans to talk ukraine at all. is the ukranian president himself. now we've heard from him before that people need to seriously tone down the hysteria. but on saturday we had a very clearly frustrated zelinski speaking out. and essentially what he said is, if you're going to come out here with these kinds of obligations, then you need to cough up some evidence. y'all has a, i think there is too much information being spread around today about a full scale war, waged by russia. there is even talk of specific gets most, we understand all the risks. we understand that the risks are there. if you or anyone has any additional information about a 100 chance of an invasion, give it to us was immune was quite an interesting moment under mine one suppose

that allies in washington like that. but it really, i think, goes to show how zalinski feels that his country is perhaps being used here. i and when we're talking about washington's political goals and perhaps how to control the situation has become one thing that has remained constant though, is russia denying at that they have any plans to invade ukraine, not spin from day one and anything new enough front though? well, you know what, it's almost as bizarre twist because now it seems that key of and moscow who washington of course, would like us to believe a sworn enemies of the ones who are now on the same page because they seem to shad this opinion. that what washington is now saying is not just completely excessive and hyped up. it's not disrespectful to the people of ukraine. for 2 months, u. s. has been saying, russia is going to attack ukraine any day now. for 2 months, ukraine's president and security services have been saying they don't have such information. and now they're even asking concerned parties to share data. for 2

months. they have been insulting common sense and the ukranian people on that path to carrying out yet another global provocation campaign. and if we're going to talk about provocation, an american submarine discovered in russian waters unannounced on approved, on responsive to request to leave the apparently, when it was off to soften to sort of show itself, it's scurried away very high speeds. but i mean a minute. truth vessel in foreign waters at a time when, according to washington, the walled piece is hanging on by a thread. i mean, it really does take kind of special level of delusion for the us to do that. and then claim that russia was the one that's being the aggressor, but just fine you. what i want to do is just step back in all of this and look at the big picture. because one has to say that for western need is these last couple of months. this week especially has been an excellent opportunity for p. all. you know, you've got president of micro france with elections this year. he's been kind of shocking between moscow and key of trying to present himself as this european

peacemaker. he had a cool with pearson this saturday as the president boynton. what that means is that if on, when russia doesn't invade ukraine, as by the way did fightin. and what we heard, again, was this rehashing of really what we've heard and conversations all those times before russia for the a 1000 times saying we are not going to attack ukraine. america saying we don't believe you. we think that you are very aggressive, and by the way, if you're lying to us and you even touch ukraine with a thing that there is going to be a serious price to pay. what really, all this means though is that if and when russia does indeed not invade its neighbor, i mean bite, and especially it's got to come looking out like a safe a. he will be the hero who saved the world from rule and stop the evil to 10 in his tracks. and of course the media will support him. they'll be churning out that headline, which means that all the articles about how inflation is that record high hasn't been bad in 40 years. those articles were just dropped right to the bottom of the

page. no one will remember the debacle of the afghanistan withdrawal. no one will be interested in the fact that by all accounts, and if polling is believed there is an absolute bloodbath awaiting the democrats at the midterm elections bite and will be writing on this wave of success for the rest of his life. but simply, it's really just another day and not that political game well played, and it seems that the stability of ukraine, of course, the mental health of its citizens, just collateral damage. vladimir putin and joe biden had a conversation by phone on saturday, which was brought forward the request of the white house. now the oval office rece, the statement following the coal, saying that america was open due to diplomacy. but it was equally prepared to impose severe costs on russia in the events of invasion. russia's foreign policy adviser, yodi osha cove, said that brittany spoke about the danger of 4 minutes, aid flowing into give rush with the president, drew attention to the danger of militarize in ukraine is a western countries,

a purposefully pumping the country with modern weapons, which encourages possible provocations by ukrainian security forces towards dumbass and crimea pos can't point to any evidence backing up their claims of this intelligence that somehow rushes a poised for an imminent attack on ukraine. and because they can't point to any source is either in my opinion, there is no credible evidence that russia is about to attack ukraine. um, and i don't think anybody in the world believes them anymore because their intelligence in the past has been faulty. manipulated men used as pretext for war, such as the tonkin gulf incident that provoked the yard viet nam, the bombing of north vietnam, or the weapons of mass destruction, which provoked the attack on iraq. so i don't think anyone believes their intelligence. i think this is an artificial crisis created by the us and the reason

that they're not showering any intelligence with misters a lens. he and ukraine is because he is merely upon in their game. he is not to be consulted at the highest levels. he is just expected to do what the imperial master tells him to the talk of war is only making things worse for mister zalinski. and i, i think that our us relations with ukraine will continue to slow deteriorate, add the longer this crisis goes on in all the news over $32000.00 people took part in a freedom convoy protest in paris, which is inspired by the canadian movements against harsh coded restrictions. now we believe 54 people so far had been arrested with riot police firing tear gas at the arts of if our correspondent, shoddy bens, you senses this report from the heart of the unrest. i think above the seat behind me, there are a 1000 people marching through the streets of paris. yes,

on this particular protest. now you may be aware that the freedom convoy the so called freedom convoy, was banned by the authorities here in paris. poor thousands of vehicles are camped out around the gates of the city because they were not allowed to enter since friday there has been a massive police operation to troy in stock. march is like this taking place. in fact, there are many, many police out on the street state monitoring, everything in factories stop. it does not have glass. italy and the police were that stopping the protections from taking the route that they had intended to take . we know that there have been hundreds upon hundreds of verbalize asians already from the police, but we heard from the french prime minister on friday that anybody trying to block the roads in paris would feel the severe consequences of the law. we also heard that from the police authorities here in paris,

suggesting that organizes could face prison sentences and also find several 1000 euros. and they were taking part as well. trying to block roads could see that driving license is suspended for a number of years. and also face huge fines. so what is all of us are back? well, as we store in canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people, hey demanding that end to the vaccine, passing to pass that regulate who can and who called going to places like restaurants in cafes depending on whether they just recovered from coded or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs. that means 2 jobs have something like pfizer by own tax plus a booster dose. and as a result of that, there remains several 1000000 individuals across she o vaccinated and furious weeping, speaking and hearing from some of those who are on the convoy why they are taken

wrong. if you, you have been told that in march or april, they will abolish health pass. and he said, was that to encourage us to vote? there are a lot of things that need to change to improve the countries more. the government should stop taking people for fools around all rights and freedoms of being violated. we have the right to work to spend and be tax it for you guys, which over price is going on, you know, not to mention the ridiculous health rule. you also, he drives me crazy to see what's going on every 30 pasco, almost everything is banned now, but we still have the right to protest on. it's the only right we have left. since the very beginning, we have been demanding the removal of a manual micron region. we also want pay arises and tax cuts, especially on fuel know to say that the demand. but this is gone much further than not what we are seeing, a demand similar to that. what we heard from the yellow vestos back in 2018. that

there's an issue with purchasing power in france and they want more money spent on public services. so a very general to mon, well as you can. ready see, the tear gas is coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind as they were trying to control the crowd, the crowds attempting to run up the steps and to be able to get past this police convoy that he's trying to keep everything in order. would you have to move further now because my gas is coming towards us. as you can see, big, big clouds are moving along with the police here forming a barrett cage as they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has moved all the way back to away from that plume of t. i guess that was launched by the police in attempts to control the situation at this boys been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protesters and the police as they truly

make their way through paris. well, earlier we spoke with an artist involve in the french freedom, convoy, and he says the movement is simply a way of making the government listen. a she lost all his molds more for almost 10 months. we've been protesting every saturday. but the authorities in some media outlets have tried to make these large gatherings look invisible. no one was talking about these demonstration the whole year. we tried all democratic me and have been brushed aside like chromos, little and today the freedom convoys providing a way to finally be heard. little. there are many reasons to stand up to the government issued. i think the main demand is to cancel the vaccines policy, which leads to segregation suspension from work and inability to visit loved ones in hospital or nursing home. this, the protest is driven not only by justified desire to resist the government, but also by host. and that's why we're seeing people help each other. i think

that's why this movement can win because it off is something positive. it's a way to restore connections between people that have been deliberately severed for some time. on there's another solidarity rally happening in the netherlands, truckers are blocking the city center in the hague. they've lined up outside a government building on a defying a police order to disperse organ. i say they'll continue to process for at least a week and could see. but with similar movements in france and belgium, the freedom convoy is going truly global. now, with protests bringing up in australia and austria, both countries have seen mounting public anger over the relentless cobra restrictions. austria's vaccine rules are the toughest in the world. with all adults required to take a coven shots all pay fines up to $3600.00 euros. well after the break, we'll say you to the origin of all these protests canada to see what's happening at north america's busiest border crossing in ontario. stay close!

aah! oh, driven by drill shaped bankers and those with airs sinks we dare to ask ah

ah ah, welcome back to the program. in canada, a stand off is currently unfolding the country's busiest border crossing with the u . s. security forces are trying to clear the ambassador bridge, where truck is involved with the anti cove. it mandates freedom convoy a blocking traffic. on the ontario side, the provinces declared a state of emergency. and the nation's prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, though many say it's a crisis of just into those own making. if you join the protest,

because you're tired of the coven, you now need to understand. you are breaking laws. the consequences are becoming more and more severe. the deliberate politicization of the pandemic is undermined to trust in our public health institutions and his damage to national unity. a prime minister's opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians, canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward ending mandates and removing restrictions. while our government has no clear plan to do the same, the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. the prime minister has stopped basing his decisions on science. he's now basing them on political science, doing whatever it takes to save his own political skin. when will canadians have a clear plan to end the mandates year? the movement started back in mid january against a vaccine mandate for canadian cross bought a truck as. and it's become

a nationwide rallying point for grievances against the governments. a judge is now issued an injunction allowing police to force protesters from the ambassador bridge . and the mayor of winds ontario says, incense, remove all those demonstrating and hopeful that the vast majority of the protesters appreciate the rule of law. appreciate it. the court has agreed to grant this injunctive relief. they've made their point move on. but if they fail to move on, police will have capabilities to move in and help them move out. well, we went to a lot of our a couple of weeks ago and we are here today because we stand for freedom. this is a free country and we should be able to work and travel and congregate with people as we please. my wife is a business owner. her business has been closed for 18 months out of 2 years. i felt that at home, there's people who lost their businesses, lost their homes. so we understand that pain and we feel it. and since we've been here, and since we've had people in ottawa, the world is on fire right now. everybody's changing. governments are coming

together. they're trying to work through this and that's what we want. while meanwhile, in ontario, the ciocca have been highlights in the grass roots supports that protest is getting from blood sways the public. one of the same time points into other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, and quebec, which are all starting to rollback koby restrictions. unbox few mandates. we spoke to the head of an anti cove it monday to group in canada. actually been fighting against this for about 2 years. we've got over 400 organizations that have popped up across canada and everything to do with providing n o l. i notice of liabilities in order for people to keep their jobs against these ridiculous government dictates. and i'm gonna call them dictates because that's what they are by the police coming on, our side is happening in droves and we, we don't just have the occupation happening in order we've, we've also got in the economics center here in toronto and at every other legislature building across the entire country and we encourage, we encourage more kids to come out and, and, and stand in support of this. i mean, this is your freedoms in your life and our fundamental life, liberty,

security property are being infringed upon. and it's unacceptable as a now for some sporting news, the cause of arbitration for sports will be holding a hearing on sunday. on the case of russian figure skater, camila believer, the 15 year old was embroiled in controversy at the beijing winter olympics. earlier this week, off he was confirmed, she tested positive for bond substance back in december. she won't go some days ago as part of the russian figure, skating squad in the team. competition with the middles have been withheld due to the scandal. a decision on the case is expected to come a day before the female skates as individual competition, where the liver is favorites, a top the podium rushes figure skating federation says he's standing by the teenage athletes. we do not doubt the honesty of our athlete. this case requires a thorough investigation because this whole wild story raises too many questions.

meanwhile, the international olympic committee has said its will help with the investigation to ensure proceed smoothly. audio will take 12 archon. if cheating is proven, we told to a cardiologist who explains was how the bung substance in question may have effects a camila believer. hello year. in year many coaches console with doctors, he don't see the lists of forbidden substances roster. it seems something like this happened to maria. sure up over with mold union or see what's also important is that try metacity ins. effects has not been properly studied for people under the age of 18. on the one hand, it's a very mild medicine, more like a vitamin that there's a whole science studies how medicines should be prescribed for children. because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research to athletes. recovery is usually reached through the right type of training. and physical activity, not with medication. i believe white lists should be compiled, just give them a list of the products. athletes can take,

white lists would have solve the problem. the u. s. is certain to prosecute russians allegedly involved in the valley of a case of the summer questioning why the u. s. doping agency is getting involved in the situation at all. are these, danny armstrong takes up the points now if olympic medals were given out for politicization, the u. s. would probably make a clean sweep, of course, with squeaky clean athletes to the treatment of camille, of oliver says, as proof that washington's political games and found a new playing field this time on the ice, the head of america's anti doping agency wants the raj, inc, of act to prosecute the team skate sensation. as more faxes develops, i think the rod jenko facts potentially could come into play. if there's a doctor or a coach or state officials, sports official who conspired to dope valley eva than the rod shank of act fits like a glove because it's an international major competition passed in 2020 the act is

named in honor of former moscow anti doping lab chief gregory russian cove, a man known as doc to death and who allegedly over saw a wide spread doping program in 2014 before fleeing to the u. s. where he was placed on the government protection. his claims had more contradictions than clarity. and then he simply disappeared into thin air, hardly a whiter than white reputation to enforce fines of a cool $1000000.00, or even 10 years in jail. the 1st and only prosecution came last summer. this prosecution is entirely appropriate and puts real cheese into anti doping enforcement while also setting an example of international cooperation and fair play for future generations. but here's the catch. the law is only used when doping affects us athletes, broadcast and sponsors convenient. you might say, meanwhile, a plethora of top. your sports stars are completely untouched by water jurisdiction

. but this all encompassing and overreaching american or 40 on the international stage hasn't gone totally unnoticed. the i o c and was, are worried about the involvement of the f. b, i and attempts to make u. s. law globally accepted. it is a matter of concern that the intention of the legislation is to per athletes from all $206.00 national olympic committees from around the world who take part in international competition under the criminal code of u. s. law. the world anti doping agency, as well as several governments in international sports organizations remain concerned that the act could have a number of negative, unintended consequences for the fight against doping in sports around the world. this of course, has nothing to do with a rookie skater wiping the ice with the u. s. team. and that the announcement about alleged doping came after an r o c gold and u. s. silver. that would be too much of a coincidence, especially after test taken in december and now being talked about in february,

it looks very strange that it took almost a month for the sample to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. it seems like that some one held this prob, until the end of the team skating competition in b jane. i can't remember any previous situation when it took so long for a result. you know, fair play in sport, just go together in the 21st century. so whatever america is saying at the moment is not, shall we say, inspired by the spirit of fair play. it's political. i mean, these are insanely political against the crescent olympics. i mean, it's charged with a political current, and everyone knows that. so it's pretty plain to see that the us is trying to create a level playing field, but only when he benefits their own athletes. and while the u. s. may stand at the

top of the podium for playing political games. if it stops its posturing, him simply played fair. it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes. while that said that the latest from around the world, including those on going freedom convoy protests. my name is peter scott and i'll be back in 30 minutes. but stay tuned for more great programs here on audience a national aah algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most of us. that's what we find meeting and how we make sense of our place in the silicon valley. see, don't mention in sneak presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of

automation behind your screen is around rouble work force that feeds algorithm is for next to nothing. on a very good day, i can do $5.00 now. at a really bad day. i can do $0.10 now. these workers are invisible by design, it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of weston responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it ah

ah.
